Discoverable.
Customers, and the AI assistants they ask, can find you. If they can't, nothing else matters.
When it breaksThe phone goes quiet and you can't tell why. The work you would have won goes to whoever the assistant named instead.
Your business runs on three things.
If one breaks, everything breaks.
Discoverability, capability and dependability. Corporate Synergy Solutions is the AI partner that keeps all three standing, even as AI changes under them every month.
Most owners find out which one is broken the expensive way: a quiet phone, a lost deal, a job nobody followed up on. We find it first. Then we build the fix.

The three things
Picture an ordinary Tuesday. A buyer asks an AI assistant who to call, and your name doesn't come up. A lead waits two days because the follow-up lives in someone's head. An invoice goes out late because the one person who understands the spreadsheet is out sick.
Nothing dramatic happened. You lost money three ways before lunch.
Every one of those traces back to one of three things.
Capable.
A platform you own end to end, not a stack of rented tools held together with logins and spreadsheets.
When it breaksEvery new customer adds another login, another export, another copy and paste. Growth makes the mess bigger, not the business.
Dependable.
AI employees that do the work every day, the same way, without you watching over them.
When it breaksFollow-up happens when someone remembers. You become the reminder system, and the business only moves when you push it.
Lose any one and the business stalls. We build and run all three, together.
AI Employees
Hire a team that never drops the ball.
You hired good people. Things still get dropped. Not because anyone is careless, but because everyone is doing five jobs, and the fifth one is always follow-up.
You don't need more effort from them. You need someone whose only job is the thing that keeps slipping.
An AI employee is a trained agent with one clear job.
It knows your business, remembers your customers, follows your rules and uses your tools. AI employees work in small teams, and a person you trust stays in charge of every decision that matters.
Teams our clients start with:
- The 40-page contract nobody has time to read until it becomes a problem.Document Review Team: reads contracts, applications and intake files, flags what's missing or risky, and hands your staff a one-page summary to approve.
- The proposal you promised for Friday that goes out the next Wednesday, after the buyer has cooled.Pre-Sales Proposal Team: turns a discovery call into a scoped proposal, pricing options and a follow-up email, ready for your review the same day.
- The blog last updated in spring, and the newsletter you keep meaning to send.Organic Content Team: drafts posts, articles and newsletters in your voice, edits them for search and AI answers, and keeps your publishing calendar full.
- The inbox you check at 10 at night to find out what you missed.Business Manager Team: watches your inbox, calendar and pipeline, keeps tasks moving, and sends you a morning brief of what needs you.
- The happy customer nobody asked for a review, who never heard from you again.Client Follow-Up Team: checks in after every job, asks for reviews and referrals, and spots the customers who are ready to buy again.
What it never does: send, pay, delete or change a record on its own. Those wait for a named person. The AI employee does the reading, drafting, checking and chasing. Your people make the calls.
What it costs: a Starter Crew of up to 3 AI employees is $1.5K–$3K one time, plus Care at $100 per AI employee per month. The price is fixed before we build.
Who owns it: you do. Once your AI employees are paid for, they're yours, including while we host them on Care.
Start with one team. Add the next when the first one proves itself.
Business Platforms
One system. Many AI employees. Working in concert.
Count the logins. A CRM. A scheduling tool. A proposal tool. A shared drive. Three spreadsheets only one person understands.
Each one works. None of them talk. So your people become the glue: copying, retyping, chasing. And every new hire has to learn the mess before they can do the job.
A business platform is where your AI teams work together, on one system you own.
The proposal team hands a signed deal to onboarding. Onboarding passes the file to document review. The business manager keeps every step on schedule and tells you only when you're needed. Nothing falls between tools, because there's only one.
- Yours end to end: your code, your data, your accounts. No rented software holding your business hostage.
- Shared memory: every team works from the same customer record, so nothing is asked twice.
- People in charge: approvals sit wherever a decision carries risk or money.
- Built to grow: add new teams as the business grows, without starting over.
We've built this before. Campbell Tax & Accounting replaced seven tools with one client portal. A Business Platform is $20K–$50K one time, with the scope and price fixed in writing before anything is built. The $1,000 you pay for the Diagnostic comes off the platform when you sign within 30 days of the readout.
How it works
Three steps. Stop after any of them.
A price before a build. A scope you signed off. Nothing you didn't approve. Every price is on this page.
Step 1 · one week
Find where it pays
The Diagnostic maps and measures one workflow and hands you seven written documents: what it costs you now, what to fix first, and the scope of the fix. They're yours whether or not we build. Optional for a Starter Crew or a Team. Required for a Department or a Business Platform.
$1K one time
Step 2 · the build
Build it at a fixed price
AI Employees for the jobs that keep slipping, from $1.5K. A Business Platform when the whole business needs one system. Either way you approve the scope and the price before we start.
$1.5K–$50K one time
Step 3 · after launch
Keep it improving
AI employees run on Care at $100 per AI employee per month. A Partnership Tier includes Care. It keeps everything secure and improving, and your senior lead advises you on new AI models, methods and frameworks as they arrive.
$2.5K–$7.5K a month
The question we hear most
"Can't I just prompt my way to an app?"
You can — and you'll get something that demos well. What you won't get is a data model that survives year two, permissions that keep one client from seeing another client's file, backups, an audit trail, or anyone who can tell you why it broke on a Tuesday.
Generated code is the easy twenty percent. The other eighty is knowing what a system needs to be enterprise-ready at small-business scale. That's the part we've spent a career on.
For trades and home-service businesses
Service OS Pro
One portal for quotes, scheduling, dispatch, and the paperwork behind every job — built so the office, the field, and the customer all see the same truth.
- Roles for owner, office, technician and customer — each sees only what they should
- Every job carries its own auditable history: who did what, when
- Pay monthly and we carry it, or pay it off over twelve months and own it outright
“Before, we were on Salesforce, Excel, and manual processes. Having everything together in one place is just too easy.”
Second question
"What does 'enterprise-ready' even mean for a twelve-person company?"
The same things it means for a twelve-thousand-person one, at a scale you can afford: a real database with a real schema, role-based access, encrypted data, logs you can audit, and a plan for the day something fails.
We write those into the scope before anything is built, and test them before anything ships. You get the discipline, not the invoice.
For accounting and tax firms
Firm Ops
Intake to completed service in one place: documents, milestones, approvals, and advisor guidance — with one sign-in for staff and clients instead of seven disconnected tools.
“Now the website and the app are one experience: my customers, my team, and I all benefit.”
Third question
"Why not just buy the software everyone else uses?"
Because "almost fits" is a tax you pay every day — in workarounds, double entry, and staff who quietly stop trusting the system. One size fits all fits nobody well.
We start from your workflow and build only what it needs. Sometimes that means keeping the tools you have and connecting them. Sometimes it means replacing seven of them with one.
For real estate agents · in development
Dwello
A CRM agents run from the personal AI agent they already talk to — Claude, Grok, OpenAI, Instinct — so follow-ups, showings and transaction steps happen in conversation, not in yet another tab. A named person still approves anything that gets sent.
- Contacts, pipeline and transactions behind one secure record
- Pairs with our AI transaction coordinator, onboarding and social-posting builds for real estate
“Connecting our real estate resources to the AFH community has been a game changer for my team, for owners, and for buyers.”
We build for ourselves first
Every tool here started as a problem in our own business.
We don't sell a process we haven't run on ourselves. When something slowed us down, we built the fix — then hardened it until it was good enough to hand to a client.
The problem: a stack of business cards and no memory
ConnectQR
We network constantly, but a card told us nothing about who someone really is or how we could help them. ConnectQR turns a scan into a real understanding of the person and the relationship — a networking CRM built around giving first.
The problem: editing was the bottleneck on every video
Synergy Edit
We wanted to put out more content, and editing was slow and expensive. Synergy Edit changed the math: we now turn around five full-length videos in a day, edited to a standard we'd put our name on.
The problem: guessing at what organic content works
Synergy Studio OS
Research what's already performing, create our own version, schedule the posts — and hand the cut straight to Synergy Edit. One loop from idea to published.
Also built for clients
SageLink
Audits, documentation and safety records for a manufacturer
Firm Ops
Intake-to-completed-service system for an accounting firm
Detail Companion
Operating system for auto detailers, from vehicle intake to a quality-checked handoff
AI Transaction Coordinator
Keeps real estate transactions moving with a human approving each step
How we work
Give us a business problem. We'll work it with you, not around you.
A real software development life cycle, run at small-business speed. AI accelerates the building; people decide what gets built and sign off on what ships.
- 01
Engage
Most AI Employees start with a free scope call. A Department or a Business Platform starts with the paid Diagnostic, and its fee comes off the build. Either way we learn your business, map the workflow, and decide together: buy, build, or keep what you have.
- 02
Design
Data model, roles, security, integrations and the rules for when AI stops and asks — written down before a line of code.
- 03
Build
AI-accelerated, engineer-reviewed. Working software you can click on every week, not a reveal at the end.
- 04
Harden
Testing, permissions, backups, compliance checks, and training your team — the part a prompt never does.
- 05
Own it
Once it's paid for, the code, the data and the documentation are yours. Keep a senior lead on it with a Partnership Tier, or run it yourself.
Built by
Anthony Smith
Founder, Corporate Synergy Solutions · Auburn, WA
Ran data and sales operations programs at Microsoft, served as a fractional COO for owner-led businesses, and holds a master's in organizational leadership with Prosci and Six Sigma certifications. You talk to the person who designs and ships your system — not an account manager.
What we bring
Organizational expertise
A master's in organizational leadership, Prosci change management and Six Sigma — so the software lands with the people who use it.
What we bring
Full-stack engineering
Databases, back end, front end. We know what has to be true underneath for the screen on top to keep working.
What we bring
Security and compliance
Role-based access, encryption, audit trails and the questions your insurer, bank or regulator will eventually ask.
What we bring
A long history of mistakes
We've shipped things that broke and fixed them. That scar tissue is most of what you're paying for.
Industries we serve
Specific industries. Specific builds. Specific outcomes.
We've done the work to understand how these businesses actually run — which is why the first conversation starts with your workflow, not our feature list.
Trades & home services
- What we build
- Service OS Pro: quoting, scheduling, dispatch, job history, invoicing — one portal for office, field and customer.
- Why it matters
- Jobs stop falling through the cracks between the truck and the office, and the owner stops being the dispatcher.
Accounting & tax firms
- What we build
- Firm Ops: intake, document collection, milestones, approvals and advisor guidance behind one client sign-in.
- Why it matters
- Staff stop chasing the same document three times, and clients stop asking "where are we?" — Campbell Tax & Accounting replaced seven tools with one.
Real estate
- What we build
- Dwello (agent-driven CRM), an AI transaction coordinator, agent onboarding and training, and social posting that runs itself.
- Why it matters
- Agents live in their phone and their conversations, not in a CRM tab. We meet them there and keep a human on every send.
Manufacturing
- What we build
- SageLink: audits, documentation and safety records that are current, searchable and ready when the inspector shows up.
- Why it matters
- Compliance stops living in binders and one person's head, and an audit becomes a report instead of a scramble.
Professional services
- What we build
- Custom client portals, onboarding and training systems, and intake-to-delivery workflows for firms that serve clients.
- Why it matters
- Expansive, people-dependent workflows become simple, auditable, multi-user portals your clients can actually use.
Don't see your industry?
Good. We don't start from an industry; we start from a business problem. Bring us yours and we'll tell you — honestly — whether software is the fix.
Start with the free SnapshotOutcomes we work toward
What changes when the system fits.
Seven tools become one portal
One sign-in for staff and clients, one record of truth, no more re-keying between systems.
Decisions stop landing on the owner's desk
AI prepares the follow-up, the missing-document chase, the draft — your people approve and move on.
Customers see a business that has it together
A portal, a status, a timely answer — the things that make someone choose you and stay.
Software you own, at a price you can say yes to
Custom development usually means six figures. Ours doesn't — and when it's paid for, it's yours.
Questions clients ask
Will I have to replace the tools I already use?
Usually not. We start with what you already use, check which connections are possible before agreeing to a build, and replace only what's costing you. Sometimes the answer is "keep the spreadsheet."
Does the AI make decisions on its own?
No. AI prepares the first pass. A named person approves anything that sends, pays, deletes, or changes a record. We write the stop-and-ask rules with you.
What will the free Snapshot tell me?
It uses your answers about one workflow to suggest a first fix, estimate its cost and show the next step. It cannot inspect your systems. You see your results without a call or email.
Do I own it, or rent it?
You own it. Once a build is paid for, the code, the data and the documentation are yours. That holds for AI employees too, including while we host them on Care. After launch, a Partnership Tier keeps a senior lead on it, or you run it yourself.
Do I have to pay for a Diagnostic first?
Not for a Starter Crew or a Team of AI employees. A Department and a Business Platform start with it, and its fee comes off the build: building the wrong thing well is the most expensive mistake in software. The Diagnostic maps and measures your workflow first, and you keep every document from it whether or not we build.
What if I need someone to build the fix?
Pick what fits: AI Employees for specific jobs, or a Business Platform for the whole business. The pricing section lists both, and the price is fixed before any build starts.
How is this cheaper than custom development?
We build with AI and review like engineers. The generation is fast; the judgment — data model, security, testing — is where our time goes. That's how a small business gets software that used to cost hundreds of thousands.
What results do you promise?
We agree the deliverables in writing and measure your starting point. We report what changed against that baseline. We do not promise savings we have not measured with you.
Is there a long contract?
No. AI Employees and a Business Platform are each one time. A Partnership Tier, if you want one, is a 3-month commitment with no onboarding fee.
Who owns the custom software?
Once the work is done and paid for, the software is yours and we transfer it to you. Your accounts and data are yours from day one. The agreement explains the permanent license to any of our reusable components.
What happens to my current data — spreadsheets, QuickBooks, the old CRM?
We migrate it as part of the build, you keep the originals, and nothing is switched off until the new system has run alongside the old one. The Diagnostic's tool-and-data inventory is where that plan starts.
What happens after launch?
We train your team and hand over the documentation. AI employees run on Care at $100 per AI employee per month, which covers hosting, AI usage and fixes. A Business Platform includes 30 days of support after launch. After that, a Partnership Tier keeps a senior lead on it, advising you on new AI models, methods and frameworks as they arrive, or you run it yourself.
Is this for you?
We're a good fit for some businesses and a bad one for others.
Built for you if
- You own or run a business of 2–50 people that serves clients
- One workflow is eating your week — intake, scheduling, follow-up, documents
- Off-the-shelf tools "almost" fit and you're tired of the workarounds
- You want to own the software you pay for
Probably not if
- You want an app built this week with no one looking at the workflow first
- You're looking for the cheapest possible developer by the hour
- You need AI to make decisions with no human approving them
- Your team isn't ready to change how it works, even a little
Why a partner, not a vendor
AI moves every month. Your partner should too.
Here's how it usually goes. You buy the tool. It works. Six months later the model behind it changes, the answers get worse, and the company that sold it to you is busy selling it to someone else.
Nobody tells you. You find out from a customer.
A vendor sells you one piece and moves on.
We live in this work every day, we know the models and how they change, and we keep your discoverability, capability and dependability standing as they do.
That's the difference between a tool you can swap out and a partner you can't afford to lose.
Pricing
What are we building?
You only answer two questions: what are we building, and how much ongoing help do you want?

$20K–$50Kone time
8–12+ weeks · Starts with the $1,000 Diagnostic
What makes it a platform build
- Multiple portals (for example staff, client, partner or subcontractor)

Optional for a Starter Crew or a Team. Required for a Department or a Business Platform.
The Diagnostic
$1Kone time
One workflow mapped, measured and scoped in seven written documents, in five business days. Nothing is built that week. The $1,000 you pay for it comes off the first month of a Partnership Tier, or the price of a Business Platform or a Department of AI employees, when you sign within 30 days of the readout. It applies once, to whichever you sign first.

Ongoing leadership · Partnership Tiers
Keep it running and growing.
A tier keeps your systems secure, improving and governed, with engineering hours every month. Three-month commitment, no onboarding fee. It starts with the Diagnostic, and your $1K comes off month 1.
It carries on after launch. Once your system is live, your senior lead's role turns advisory: bringing you new AI models, methods and frameworks as they become available, and showing you where they fit.
Direct Advisory
Systems that already run and need someone senior looking after them, without a standing meeting.
$2.5K/month
Month 1 with your credit: $2,500 $1,500
- 4 engineering hours a month, banked 60 days
- Email queue answered within 24 business hours

Full refund within 3 days of the Diagnostic's or a tier's first payment. Software built for you is yours once it's paid for. Care for AI employees is included with every tier. Read the full terms.
- A platform's data lives in your accounts. Licenses and AI usage are billed to you directly — we never hold the keys to your business.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest, with daily backups you can restore without us.
- Role-based access — owner, staff, client — and an audit trail on every record change.
- AI never acts alone. Sends, payments, deletions and record changes wait for a named person.
- You own the code once it's paid for — repository, database and documentation transfer to you.
- Compliance questions answered in writing for your insurer, bank or regulator, on request.
